BTW I enjoy this thread. I found the rear end, power divider, drive shaft "discussion" rather amusing. I did not have time to respond while it was going on. I misunderstood your first question about it as well but understood what you were asking after that. It happens glad everyone finally got on the same page.
I look forward to seeing more pics and your progress.
Ps don't let anyone (not that you would) try to sway you. its your truck/money build it however you want.

Yeah, I finally realized how stupid my part sounded IF you weren't coming from a place of not having the slightest clue what a power divider was. I should have asked that question first, then that entire driveshaft fiasco wouldn't have happened. My fault. -

@BIGZILLA Thanks. I have never seen one of these early build sheets. The Eaton/Fuller 5 speed main box was a surprise as I have seen only 1 in a truck linked with ANOTHER fuller 4 speed aux box in my life. And , yes, I did drive it, but only for a limited time. More later on this. This build sheet is a great thing to have with this old girl................

2 of my 3 favorite things are bloody decks and the sound of an old two stroke Detroit. I'm headed over to follow your advice and start checking for unhealthy components. I will report back this afternoon.
